SIDE BY SIDE

They lie on the table side by side
The Holy Quran and the T.V. Guide.

One is well worn and cherished with pride.
Not the Quran, but the T.V. Guide.

One is used daily to help folks decide.
Not the Quran, but the T.V. Guide.

As the pages are turned, what shall they see?
Oh, what does it matter, turn on the T.V.

So they open the book in which they confide.
No, not the Quran, but the T.V. Guide.

The Word of Allah is seldom read,
Maybe a verse before they fall into bed.

Exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be.
Not from reading the Quran, from watching T.V.

So then back to the table side by side,
Lie the Holy Quran and the T.V. Guide.

No time for prayer, no time for the Word,
The plan of Istiqama is seldom heard.

But forgiveness of sin, so full and free,
Is found in the Quran, not on T.V.

[DAWUD_adnan]

SubhanAllah we should really try to read the Holy Words of our Lord Allah !

I get up early in the morning, and read the Quran for a hour or more everyday. It gives me a new outlook on the day before me. If I am sad, I feel happier. If I am at wits end with a problem, I can find solutions. Sometimes I feel unsure of what the day is going to be, and the words in the Quran, light my way...InShalla

Masyallah, that was indeed a nice poem. Yes the Tv guide verses the Al-Quran. We are hook to the TV but not to the Quran.
